No, the Helly Hansen Manchester 2.0 Softshell Jacket is water-resistant due to its DWR coating and membrane, offering protection against light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof.
The main fabric is a blend of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane, with a weight of 290 g/m², and features a membrane and a brushed fleece lining inside the collar.
This jacket provides wind protection and some warmth, but for very cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down.
To maintain water repellency, avoid fabric softeners during washing and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Articulated sleeves are designed with pre-bent or shaped construction to allow for a greater range of motion and natural movement of the arms, enhancing comfort and performance.
The product description mentions 'zip in compatible', suggesting it may be designed to zip into compatible outer shells or specific Helly Hansen mid-layers, though specific compatibility details would need to be checked with the manufacturer.
The reflective details are incorporated to increase your visibility to others in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or overcast weather, thereby enhancing safety.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth for lubrication.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.
Check if the inner membrane is blocked by dirt or debris. Clean the jacket thoroughly following care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners which can clog pores.
This jacket is designed with no shoulder seams to minimize discomfort. If you experience seam discomfort, ensure the garment fits correctly and consider layering with a smooth base layer.
This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase. It is designed for compatibility with other outdoor gear and can be layered over base layers or fleeces. For care, it is recommended to machine wash cold with like colors and avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade the DWR treatment. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. To maintain water repellency, a re-waterproofing treatment can be applied periodically following product instructions.
